Monster's new iCruze iPod car stereo interface

monster icruze

Monster and SoundGate have announced the iCruze, a car stereo interface for the iPod that doesn't require a particular head unit, casette adapter, line-in, FM transceiver, or witchcraft. Utilizing existing CD-changer or satellite radio connections on your current stereo (assuming you have said connections), the iCruze allows you to control and play your iPod with a direct-line connection for what we imagine will be some great sound quality. It will list for $200, and they're also selling an optional display device to show song and artist info. While the price isn't great, this solution allows you to keep your current stereo head unit and forego all those crappy-sounding FM transceiver options.
